Canadian graduate schools require that applications for admission be routed case by case via graduate deans or their
designated representatives.
2.
Original documents are required for decision regarding admission.
3.
A TOEFL score meeting the normal minimum standard for the institution is required for admission unless a specific
substitute (MELAB, IELTS) has been approved in advance.

Fees, if any, for processing of application should be directed to the graduate school.

CAGS/ACDEA considers streaming of blocks of applications to particular universities that have been pre-elected by
